Present metric value when mouse over the graph about graphite-web HOT 5 CLOSED

Graphite returns a PNG image, not HTML/CSS. So this is not currently
possible.

You may want to check out the Graphlot interface for this kind of
functionality.

Good point Nicholas, thank you for pointing it out.

I checked the Graphlot interface, and it seems very immature. What are the plans for it? should it be an alternative interface for Graphite or is it planned to merge them together? Asking, because maybe I can help ...

@leonidlm See issue #94. I am sure you could contribute to that effort which seems to be the most promising avenue.

I suspect this may be possible to base on the built in svg rendering too (with supporting javascript)

As mentioned, there's no way to support interactive hover legends natively with PNG images. This is something you could do client-side with the various charting libraries. Even with SVG you'd need to perform the hover code client-side.
